Las Vegas, NV – What will it take for Governor Brian Sandoval to say he will not support reality TV star and bigot-in-chief Donald Trump as the Republican nominee? Last night, Governor Sandoval continued his too cute by half dance, implying that Trump has only started saying offensive things “lately,” while in the same breath refusing to completely denounce him. Until Sandoval and other Nevada Republicans say they flat out will not support Trump, statements like these are only lip service.
